OssiesSurfShop.com is a new website founded at the heart of the Oregon surf scene, boasting an impressive selection of surfboards, wetsuits and all the accessories surfers crave. Founded by surf instructor Dan Hasselschwert, the website's newest feature is a blog which will provide detailed information about surf equipment, as well as teach aspiring surfers how to duck dive, hang ten, and avoid a wipeout.

I also have a huge selection of used surfboards, which are great for surfers on a budget and people who aren't sure yet if surfing is their thing.

Dan Hasselschwert, founder of http://www.OssiesSurfShop.com, was a middle school teacher who first became interested in starting a surf shop after he developed a middle school surfing program for the local school district.

"I've always loved to surf, but I found that I had the most fun when I was teaching kids at surf club," said Hasselschwert. "After leading the surf club for a while, I decided to open up a surf shop and become a full time surf instructor."

Hasselschwert is the owner of two surf shops located on the Oregon coast, and his website is a direct extension of his brick and mortar stores. "I have a great selection of surfboards, wetsuits and accessories from the names surfers trust," said Hasselschwert. "I also have a huge selection of used surfboards, which are great for surfers on a budget and people who aren't sure yet if surfing is their thing."

In addition, Hasselschwert offers free shipping on all wetsuits, and discounted shipping on all surfboard purchases.

Hasselschwert runs a full service surf shop, providing rentals, private lessons, surf school and a host of other services which he plans to discuss more in-depth on his new blog at http://www.SurfTalkGuru.com.

"I want to use the blog to educate surfers and those interested in surfing about the best surf equipment and what equipment is needed to get started," said Hasselschwert. "I also want to talk about different surf techniques, and provide mini-lessons that can lead up to private lessons or surf school here in Oregon."

Hasselschwert believes his product selection and unique merchandise will continue to bring surfers back to his website. "There aren't a lot of other websites that have the selection I do, and I can almost guarantee none of them have the same passion or knowledge of surfing."
